INSTALLATION
2.00
Installation Overview
The ZA737/757 CHAPI system requires several steps to insure proper installation and maximum
performance. Consultation and approval with a civil engineer is highly recommended for proper installation.
These are the basic steps for installing the CHAPI:
* Determination of proper location of the light boxes.
* Installation of the footers and mounting pads.
* Interconnect wiring and home run (star topology) wiring.
* Alignment of the light box assemblies.
* Electrical adjustments.
* Flight check.
Included with your CHAPI is a hardware package, containing the necessary components for the bracket assemblies,
unit mounting screws and studs, which enables the unit to be mounted to the base unit assembly.
2.10
NOTE:
If nearby trees are an obstacle to your approach, allowances should be made in siting your system, because
the trees will continue to grow and could become a serious hazard.
2.11 CHAPI Light Housing Location
Location of CHAPI units shall be in accordance with local licensing authority requirements. See Figure 1 for general
layout dimensions.
2.20 Installation of Footers and Mounting Pads
Once the elevation and exact physical location of the light boxes has been determined, footers should be
prepared as depicted in drawing FLP28407A/B (see section 5). After the footers have been set up, the EMT
(2") legs should be cut. Because of the legs and mounting hardware, 16" is the minimum height that the
center of the light box will be above the mounting surface. To determine the length to cut the EMT legs,
subtract 11.25" from the height of the proposed mounting center of the light box lens, above the mounting
pad. Mount the light boxes and power supply on the pads.
2.21 Align and Secure the Base Unit
* Locate the base unit assembly onto packing blocks, (i.e. wood or metal), placed on the top of the foundation.
* Level the base unit assembly using shims under packing blocks and a standard builders spirit level.
* Align the base unit assembly to the appropriate toe-out angle, in accordance with the layout for a particular
Airport.
* Mix and pour concrete, to retain the base unit in place. The top of the concrete to be level with the marks on each
leg of the base unit assembly, approximately 0.787 inches below the leg securing bolts. DO NOT cover these bolts.

Interconnect Wiring
WARNING!
Turning the circuit breaker (CB1) to OFF does NOT remove All voltages.
TB1, SA1/2, and CB1 are still HOT!
at
Install and connect the twist lock photocell in its socket on top of the power supply. Orient the window of the
photocell away from the runway to prevent aircraft landing lights from switching the photocell. Orient the
fixture facing north for best results. Test the PEC by covering the cell. Lights should dim in 40 seconds.

Adjustment of the Light Housing Assembly (LHA)
The Aiming Device consists of precision machined aluminum blocks corresponding to the particular angles
required by Glide Slope and number of boxes. There are 5 blocks for a four box system and 3 blocks for a
two box system with standard CHAPI Glide Slope Angle of 6 degrees. Non standard Glide Slopes will
require special sets of aiming blocks. The Aiming Blocks are designed to be set on the edge of the light box
with the provided spirit level on the top surface. Refer to Figs. 1 & 2

For each 1/4 turn executed on the nut on one side, turn the nut on the other side 1/4 turn in the opposite
direction. This will keep the lens center at the same elevation at all times during adjustment. Recheck both
points.
Position the proper aiming block on the edge of the light box for vertical alignment. Place the spirit level on
the aiming block. Adjust the both rear adjustment jacks to bring the spirit level to center.

Turn the circuit breaker ON. check the amp meter for 6.6 amps. Continue this procedure until the current is
as close to 6.6 amps as possible, but in no case, exceeding 6.6 amp.
Clean out the residue from the power supply and neatly dress the wiring.
Be sure that all light boxes and the power supply are connected to ground rod ground.
Close the door of the power supply and secure its latch.
2.51 Lamp Installation
Install LA-6373 lamps into each light box assemblys lamp holder.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the quartz tube of the LA-4373 lamp as finger oils will
significantly reduce lamp life. If touched, clean with rubbing alcohol.
2.52 Interlock Adjustment, set in over-current mode (optional feature only)
The 77-ECS31BC current monitor is set at the factory to turn on when the current being sensed rises to a
level greater than 6.3 amps after a time delay. This internal delay may require adjustment based upon airfield
operational requirements, but set to minimum unless advised otherwise. Apply power to the runway lights at
the required operational step. Fine-tune the trip point by turning the adjustment and watching the LED. The
LED will light indicating over-current. When a over-current is sensed (LED ON), the output relay is
energized. This is the normal state when the runway lights are energized.
2.60 Flight Check
Before placing in service, the system should be thoroughly flight checked. The flight check should include
flying over any and all obstructions in the approach area to be sure that all light boxes show red whenever
you are close to the obstructions. Several normal approaches should be made to insure good signal at all
points in the approach path.
SECTION THREE

Should the tilt circuit fail, the Mode LED (top) will extinguish after the delay period which was factory
adjusted to 30 seconds. At no time should this or any other safety feature be bypassed or modified. To do so
will risk aircraft safety.
3.60 Lens Heater Circuit, Class II only
In severe winter climates, the lens must be heated to insure dependable operation in all weather conditions.
This is accomplished by a power resistor in series with each lamp filament. It dissipates approximately 20
watts into its heater mount; this insures complete lens heat absorption and dependable signal presentation to
pilots.
3.70 Alignment & Aiming Device Calibration
This component has two parts. The structural component shown in Figure 2 has no calibration. It has been
factory checked for accuracy and cannot be altered without damage to the frame. The adjustable precision
spirit level is shown in Figure 3. The level was factory aligned and should not require adjustment, but if this
were ever necessary, the check and alignment is quite simple:
A. Use any flat level surface - the more level and stable the better. Insure the surface is clean, and that
the bottom of the level is also clean.
B. Place the level on the inspected area, marking its location. Now, reverse the level (turn it 180
degrees). The bubble MUST be in the same relative position on the scale.
C. With each movement of the level, give the bubble time to become stable.
D. Should the bubble NOT be in the same relative position, loosen the adjustment nuts and correct for
one-half of the difference in the readings. Re-tighten the nuts. Repeat steps B, C, and D until there is no
difference. This completes the Alignment and Aiming Devices calibration. It should be accomplished
before each use, or at least semi-annually.
